Everyone knew Luca Novak: he was the school's bad boy. He was a drug dealer for a living, who sold drugs in both parts of town: the suburbs and the hood. He got high on the regular and he drank often. There was nothing wrong with his home life, he had the richest parents anyone could ask for. No one knew why he did what he did; they only knew that it was wise to stay away from him. Zakiyah Webb would call herself an outsider. She had a small circle of friends, but she never associated herself with the popular people. She had average grades and good manners. Nothing exciting ever happened in her life, until she hung out with her best friend and her boyfriend-Luca happened to be there too. Luca was immediately transfixed by Zakiyah's nonchalant demeanor. He wasn't looking for someone to call his, but after seeing Zakiyah he couldn't stop thinking of ways to be in her life. She didn't change him for the better, no, she allowed him to experience real love. And maybe he gave her a glimpse of his life: no rumors, no drama, just him. The real him. sincerelyjayy 2020 | all rights reserved © Rankings: #8 in Interracial Love (4/4/23) #15 in Hidden Gems (4/4/23) #25 in Undiscovered (4/4/23)
